Dota 2
minimum requirements for Dota 2 (low spec)
ive been using my potato for dota for like 5 years already, but my dota seems to go blank screen everytime i try a match (can hear in-game sounds, can move hero, can cat skill but cant see anything in-game)

i really need to fix this ASAP cuz its very annoying whenever i play dota

DirectX: Version 9.0c

Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Dota 2 is pretty much cpu intensive now and you'd be needing a better computer spec to at least be able to play at 30fps stable.

my processor speed doesn't meet the system requirement but i am capable of playing dota 2 at low settings without vsync on and getting 60 FPS very consistently.

1.6ghz is still good, I had a laptop back then with 1.6ghz and are able to get a 70fps stable.

Never turn on Vsync unless you have a super-computer..

2.2 GHz is my processor speed though, no overclock at all for CPU and GPU.

my graphics card is nvidia geforce 920m

windows 10.

8 GB of RAM.

never have a single problem like black screen after opening dota 2.

never have the problem where you open dota 2 and then crash back to your windows screen.

never have graphics card driver errors when playing dota 2.

^_^

It might've been your graphic cards, it's too old to support Dota 2's graphic since it's being receiving constant updates and changes for the past years..

I'm not sure what you are trying to point out? There is no defence for it. It's one out of several flaws ignored. But it goes hand in hand with developers aversion to patch vurnabilities instead of adding features and additional untested support that can also most likely be exploited in turn.


Also if you havn't noticed DOTA2 says added 1970, but perhaps that's just my DOTA2 on my specific account? What do I know...

You can.

I'm using a laptop with a 512mb vram and 4gb and it runs at a minimum of 30-60fps on the lowest graphic.
